The original paper is about 400 words. Note and Communications are about 200words. The above item 5 and（8）〜（10）is written before text. This summary is
published in Journal of Society for Antibacterial and Antifungal Agents, Japan.
8. Key words
For key words, general terms such as ‘Membrane’, ‘Structure’, ‘Enzyme’,‘Inactivation’, etc. should not be used. Instead, e.g. ‘Membrane structure’, ‘Enzyme
inactivation’ are appropriate. Key words start with a capital letter. Separate each wordwith a slash（ / ）.
9. Tables
The number must be indicated in turn such as TABLE 1, and record on the different
papers by each tables. Author’s name must indicate in a margin of each paper. The title
which shows the contents accurately must indicate. In order to understand experimental conditions without reading the text, the paragraph must be set up below each table（It can be set up the paragraph）.
10. Figures and Photographs
Figure is made clearly by black ink on A4 paper. Each figure describe the differentpapers. Author’s name and figure number must indicate in a margin of each paper.
The title which shows the contents accurately must indicate. The title of figures,photographs and explanation words must indicate in the different paper. In order tounderstand experimental conditions without reading the text, the paragraph must be set
up.
The experimental conditions described in MATERIALS AND METHODS and othervtables and figures do not indicate repeatedly. The figure and the photographs must
be regulated in the width. The words don't insert in the figure as principally. When themicrophotograph shows the size, it indicates the unit in the explanation including theline, and also indicates the linear measure in the picture. In the text an insertion part infigures must be indicated in the space of right blank part.
11. Symbol, abbreviation name and unit etc.
About the symbol, abbreviation name such as the scientific name, physical quantity,element and compounds name, international words（use commonly）must indicate.
When the words do not used frequently, It put in parentheses in the first description
and explain the meaning clearly during it. The unit basically uses International System ofUnits（SI）. On abbreviation name and unit, it doesn’t use “s”（each abbreviation: referto table 1〜3）. The scientific name and the generic name of the animal, the plant andthe microorganism indicate the italic style. Full name of them must be indicated, and theabbreviation word must be use describing once again. It is not italic style in the case ofi.e., e.g., et al.. Please use roman style.
12. References
References in the text should be cited as follows:In case of two authors and below,

to papers by the same author（s）in the same year should be distinguished by theletters, a, b, c, etc.（for example, 1995a）. References at the end of the paper must be
given in alphabetical order, except for papers with three or more authors, which should
be listed in chronological order after any other papers by the ﬁrst author. See examples
below for references to journals and books.
